If we would have tendered Hopkins at the original round level it would have saved us money. If someone signs him Oh well. We have 11 draft picks so I am not worried about having to draft another C. I think we should add another body whether Hopkins is here or not.
Backup interior OL shouldn't be a major cost. And we are penny pinching to begin with so it hurts our chances even more for making a big move.
Basically we overpaid Hopkins by about 2 million, money that I wish would be going to a guy that we were paying to be a starter.
